LIE Paris says that the German drummers
and trumpeters are practicing the French
beats and calls, in order to deceive their enc
mics in battle. 1t also says that in many
engagements in the war of 1870 the COM
mand to cease firing was often given to the
French infantry by German buglers; and
that the command to halt sounded by the
same buglers often stopped a charge OF
French cavalry, and placed them in posi-
ton where they could be moved down

Unme,od,ous and Unmus;caI.

The tendency of Germans to exchange I'M
melodious Teutonic names for equally I'M
musical English patronynics is on the in
crease. Several signs on Broadway business
places, bearing the names of Heavenrich,
Morningstar, Hammerslough, ETC., is proof of
this weakness. Himmelreich and Morgen-
stern are not exactly harmonious names, but
from people IMMERSED in the German tongue
they command the respect due to words of
unknown significance. Done into English
they do not sound well, and they look absurd

POSTAGE-STAMP PORTRAITS
Some Of the Pictures which Are Used
and Whose They Are.
WILL n. CLEMENS.
tCopvrighted, 1871

For over thirty years the United States
three-cent stamp used for general postage
has been adorned with q profile of
George Washington. In 1882 the three
cent stamp was superseded by two
cent stamp whichstill bears the portrait of
the first President. The four-cent stamp,
issued at the same time, has upon its
face the bust Of Andrew jackson. When
one makes study of American postage
stamps and realizes the fact that the por-
traits of score or more of prominent
Americans have appeared from time to
time upon the face of the stamps, the
study becomes at once interesting and
instructive. Placing before him the series
of American stamps from the time of
the first issue in 1S47, which bore the
portraits of Washington and Franklin,
to the more recent period when the busts
of Washington and Jackson appeared on
the new stamps, the student has not
only before him an art gallery of the
portraits of great Americans, but the
life and public services of these men are
recalled to minds In the portrait of
Washington we see the first President
encamped in the snow at Valley Forge.
Franklin is seen flying his kite and
tempting the electric currents; Hamil-
ton favoring centralized government
and establishing the national bank; JET.

pendence and founding the Democratic

party; Commodore Perry winning the
historic battle of Lake Erie; Andrew
Jackson behind the cotton bales at New
Orleans; Zachary Taylors exploits on
the Rio Grande; Scott operating in
Mexico; Abraham Lincoln signing the
emancipation proclamation /; the assassi-
nation and the death of Garfield, and
other thrilling incidents of American
history.
There have been various portraits of
Benjamin Franklin ON different Ameri.
can stamps. The most perfect is that
which appears upon the One-cent stamp
in present use It is printed in imperial
ultramarine blue and was designed under
the direction of Postmaster General
Creswell. It is after the profile bust
made by Rubricht.
The head of Andrew Jackson appear.
ing upon the obsolete two-cent stamp is
perfect portrait. 1t was taken from the
bust executed by Hiram Powers. The
profile of Washington was designed after
the celebrated bust by Houdon. Another
and perhaps more accurate portrait of
Washington appeared on the twenty
cent green stamp issued by the Confeder-
ate government during the civil war.
The portraits of Washington, Jackson
and Franklin have predominated in the
various issues of the United States
stamps. Jackson's head invariably ap-
peared upon the two-cent stamp, Frank
Inns portrait was confined to the one-cent

government during the war bore portraits
Of John G. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis,
Alexander H. Stephens and George
Washington.
The portrait Of Queen Victoria is most
familiar of those of foreign celebrity.
For nearly half century her profile has
existed upon postage stamps which are
to be found in almost every civilized
country in the world. The English post
age stamp, with its portrait of Queen
Victoria, is in use wherever floats the
British flag. The portraits found ON these
stamps are poorly executed. The majority
Of them were designed from bust of the
Queen made forty years ago. Probably
the most accurate portrait exists on the
Canada bill or revenue stamps. These
show the Queen a. appearing In widows
weeds, and are really little works Of art.
They were originally designed from a
photograph taken by a London artist.
The profile of Victoria appearing on
the India stamp also appears on the

"And IL thy fate thus hope-forlorns"
"Yes, even So" the shape replied;
"For one wronged in life hath sworn
In hatred ever to abide;
The lover seeketh not the bride,
But aye, with me, his heart dreams on,
Asleep in these cold mists that hide

"And still for me will Lacon mourn,
And still my pardon be denied;
And never shall cross the bourne,

Yet 1 repent me not" she cried;
"Nay, only that mine hour is gone.

Where never moon or starlight shone,

They sing the power that works each yea

And multitudes are fed.
OF faithfulness, they sing aloud,
That ever doth endure:

LORD BEAcoNsF1ELD,s FRENCH.

How the Linguistic Honor of England
Was Once Saved.
The following story Is told by the Lon.
don correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian of Lord Beaconsfield and Lord
Ampthill: The latter's tact, says the cor.
respondent, was skillfully employed at
the opening of the Congress Of Berlin in
1873, in delicate matter which taxed it
to the utmost. On the evening before the
congress was to be opened Lord Rowton
Qhen Mr.. Montague Cory, and Lord
Beaconsfeld's private secretary came to
Lord Odo Russell, 40 our ambassador
still was, and begged his assistance In a
difficult task. Lord Beaconsfield fancied
he could speak French; this was delu-
sion. Accent, syntax, grammar-all
were equally faulty, and as he had pre-
pared an elaborate French speech for the
opening of the congress, the results
bade fair to be deplorable. 1--WE
shall be the laughing-stock of Eu-
rope" cried the despairing secretary.
'Pray try what you can with the chief.
We dare not approach him ON such a
subject" Lord Odo at once entered
into the humor of the situation. He
went to the great man and said: "We
hear a dreadful rumor that you are
going to speak in French tomorrow.
No one can do it better than you; but
then all the congress can do it equally
well. But there is one thing which only
you in Berlin can do-you alone can
make really fine English speech. All
the ambassadors are counting ON the in
tellectual treat of hearing English spoken
by its great living master. Do not dis.
appoint them" Much impressed by this
change his plan. The congress was duly
addressed in English, and the linguistic
honor Of Great Britain was saved
